Correction: the thermal-to-hwmon bridge consolidates the thermal zones of the same type into a single hwmon device. So there will never be multiple instances of the same type, and libsensors is fine as it is. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
